I think the 'family sport' tag is just paper over the cracks. There is an element of rogue characters within the game, players and fans alike, but it's a society issue, not solely an RL issue. I've heard some pretty nasty stories from yesterday's game and most of it seems to stem from alcohol fuelled antics. Doesn't mean we're all animals that should be caged, but I do wish people wouldn't be so fickle about it. A lot of mud gets slung when incidents like this occur, "your fans are worserer than our fans" "our fans were provoced" etc. People act like knobs no matter where they're from or who they support, end of. I'd also like to see such behaviour discouraged at matches, people seem to turn a blind eye when it's 'their' fans, yet are often on t'interweb slagging others off for the same.

Really? Hull Fc fans storm the pitch fighting and pull down the posts compared to a stand is evacuated and fans taken to safety on the pitch is slightly different don't you think? HullFC and Hull KR fans kicked off at Craven Park a few years ago if I remember correctly. I would say that was worse than Sunday. That report is nothing more than sensationalism.

The guy attacked in the carpark is a different matter and I pray for his full recovery.

The loos and stores etc don't seem to have ceilings just block work then open space above so a fag flicked could easy end up in a store cupboard it seems

No it's not comparing the trouble on Sunday to the day when Hull FC tore down the MacAlpine posts. He's stating his opinion that it was the worst crowd trouble he'd witnessed since that day. Yes in an ideal world the fans were simply evacuated and lead to safety on the pitch - in reality the Featherstone contingent (and indeed the Sky commentary team initially) thought the Halifax contingent were heading onto the pitch to cause trouble and the pictures clearly showed a number of Featherstone "fans" rushing to the front of the South Stand no doubt aggravated by the taunts of their Halifax counterparts as they were on the pitch.

You cannot ignore the fact that there was trouble both in and outside the ground on Sunday, IMO it was the worst seen at the HJ an opinion backed up by some and disagreed with by others. For what it's worth there is a large part of Andy Wilson's report I strongly disagree with - the quote attributed to the Featherstone Director that there was no police presence outside the ground after the game is totally wrong, I was on Tesco carpark around the time of the attack, and while I saw nothing of the attack itself there was a number of police officers present overseeing the Halifax fans as they left the East Stand and went to their coaches on Dallam Lane.

Any photos avalible?

Any drunkards acting up should be thrown out and banned for the season. Any underage drunkards acting up should be banned for a decade.

That'll learn em

I'm not entirely sure if I'm serious or not. but it's like drugs cheats and "professional" drivers who go over the 12 point limit. You knew the rules beforehand, you screwed up, you live with the consequences, no excuses or leniency.
